Tim and his staff are some of the kindest and most generous people I've ever met. We had a very complicated situation with a vehicle and Tim was incredibly patient with the whole process. He took great care to make sure the vehicle was thoroughly checked and everything was fixed up. He even offered that AAA may have been able to give us a better price for a battery. He's a truly good person who looks out for others and tries to help out each of his customers. He's a rare gem and Pittsburgh is lucky to have him.
I've been going to Walter's for my inspections for the last few years and I've always had a good experience. I set my appointment around 3-4 weeks in advance so I've never had an issue with not being able to get in. At my last inspection, my brake pads needed to be replaced but the rotors were still fine (they had been replaced more recently than the brake pads). They easily could have said that both needed to be replaced to charge me more for the inspection but they didn't. They also communicated with me multiple times throughout the day regarding the status of the inspection, the timeline of the needed repairs, and were able to get everything done before 1pm. Even though I've moved further away from Walter's, I will continue to use them for my inspections.
Been going here for years for our 19 Mazda and 99 Honda accord. They have been amazing at helping keep both vehicles running smoothly without problems. They do great work, are quick, and easy to do business with. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great team to take care of any needs for your car
This used to be a great place.
For about two years now though it has been getting worse and worse. I've taken all of our cars here for the last six years. I trusted them.
Out of desperation I took our car to a new mechanic because this place kept telling me there was nothing wrong with our car.
It did not sound right. It did not drive right. I've had it for over 20 years, so I know how it runs and sounds.
Our new and highly improved mechanic and told me that it needed $3000 worth of work. It had an oil leak, it was out of oil, the list goes on.
I am so upset because I have been taking it to Walter's for so long begging them to find out what was going on. I could have lost our car entirely due to their negligence. I know enough about cars to understand a car cannot be driven with no oil for long before it gets ruined beyond needing a new engine.
Walter's has gotten too busy to do good work. Or, they no longer care?
I've taken it in 8 times since it started running and sounding bad, and each time they failed to diagnose and fix EVERYTHING-and all the items were quite apparent, not some obscure thing.
My car started making an intense rattling noise whenever I would accelerate. Naturally, I was worried about this, and wanted to have it looked at before doing any more driving.
I gave Walter's a call, and Tim got back to me a couple of hours later. He said that he was booked out for quite a while, but the problem sounded like it was probably a loose exhaust shield. If I could come by right at opening tomorrow, he offered to take a look and fix it if that was, indeed, the issue.
He was right. One of his employees tested and fixed the issue on the spot. I was in and out within 10 minutes, and Tim didn't charge me for the service since it was such an easy fix. Based on my experience, Walter's Automotive is still a great, reliable mechanic shop that we have here in Pittsburgh, and I will continue using them in the future. Thanks, Tim -- you made my thanksgiving travel plans _a lot_ easier by squeezing me in and doing that spot fix!
Walter's is great. Tim really knows his cars and is a genuinely honest businessman along with an honest team. Inexpensive without cutting corners, and if someone else can do it for less, he will truly send you there. Most amazing experience with a mechanic I've ever had. Can't say enough good about this place.
It may take a little bit to get your car in, but that wait is worth it. Tim at Walter’s is friendly, fair, trustworthy, and informative (also very sarcastic, not in a mean way, that’s just his personality). They’re also upfront with scheduling and will do their best to get you in sooner if your problem is urgent. I couldn’t recommend a better mechanic, and I’m sad I’ll have to find a new one when I move away. All-around excellent staff and service.
Have been taking my cars to Walter's for years. Honest mechanics with great service, and they stand behind their work. Make sure to book an appointment early since they are pretty busy. Also, you need to drop your car off in the morning.
